Atlanta and its region are experiencing strong economic growth, in part because of a culture that values international relationships and that fosters global partnerships. For Atlanta to achieve its full potential as a thriving and inclusive global hub, we need to cultivate global citizens and speakers proficient in other languages. Georgia's teachers are crucial to developing students' global competencies and language skills. Their dedication and high-quality instruction in our schools directly benefit our present and future economy.
